ROAD TRIP
Navigating the Path
During the month of AUGUST Reverend
Glenda and Reverend Judy help us wrap up the summer season by focusing on taking it easy and enjoying the ride of life as it is.
They will give us 'travel tips' that will invite us to turn the stuff of everyday life into sacred currency. They will encourage us to allow the wind of the Divine to enter our awareness in the traffic jams and detours of life.
They will help us see that bumpy stretches can be passages to grace. And, most of all they will invite us to take the scenic route, to slow down, lighten the load, and make life a joyful journey.
This is a perfect series of talks for anyone who is ready to set aside time each week to arrive at new insights, gain inspiration and discover personal spiritual truths.
Please join us every Sunday in August. Common Ground is the perfect place for anyone who is spiritually independent and open to spirituality without borders. We are an open accepting spiritual community where everyone is welcome.
Please join us each Sunday at 10:30 am.

TITHING 2014
May All That We Give and All The We Receive Be Blessed and Multiplied. As We Give, So Shall We Receive ~ Common Ground is truly blessed and in turn becomes a blessing in the world
Common Ground
reaches out to the global community through our
spiritual
practice of conscious giving.
Giving back
to the
world
is an important aspect of our mission and
vision. A
balanced integral approach is reflected in
conscious
selection of 501c3 qualified programs and
institutions
to which Common Ground provides tithes each
month.
Recipients of Common Ground 2013
tithes
include:
IONS
(Institute of
Noetic Sciences), advancing the science of
consciousness and human experience to serve
individual and collective transformation; Kiva,
empowering people to lift themselves out of
poverty;
Project
HOPE School, (Homeless
Outreach Program in Education), helping
children without permanent homes transition
into the mainstream educational system;
Walking
Shield, helping to improve the
quality of life for American Indian families;
, The Humane Society of Dover-Stewart County, a not-for-profit organization rescuing abused, abandoned and neglected animals and placing them into good homes, Mercy House Fare Share Program, providing bus passes for homeless men, women and children in search of a better life, The Avielle Foundation, a non-profit foundation created by the parents of a child victim of the Sandy Hook killings, aiming to support and protect vulnerable loved ones and to strengthen communities through brain health initiatives and community engagement; Breast Cancer Angels, a not-for-profit organization providing financial, emotional and spiritual assistance for women and their families as they are going through breast cancer treatment; and Willows in the Wind, a not-for-profit organization supporting families with teens and young adults in crisis.
The organizations to
which
Common Ground tithes are meaningful programs
where people from the spiritual community and
its
friends are already serving with heart and
hand, and
supporting with time and treasure.

Common Ground is a Teaching-Learning
Center where people bring their very
souls
where people grow one another by sharing what
they
know where people learn spiritual
practices to
